According to the Times newspaper this week "The fast-growing popularity of walking for pleasure along beaches and cliffs has led to it becoming the main cause of recreational deaths on the British coastline.

Six people died while taking a walk between January and July this year. Five were killed swimming and two sub-aqua diving. “Tomb-stoning”, the new craze for jumping from a height into the sea, has led to five deaths in the first seven months of 2007."

Why isn't the government cracking down on this with new licensing proposals? Surely all coastal walkers should be licensed, breathalysed and imprisoned if necessary? After all one of these Tombstoners might land on my boat.

Absolutely agree with you.
The government should set up a Judicial Enquiry immediately together with a House of Commons committee. Inspectors should be appointed at at least 20k a year and a tv series would follow.

Yes, much more sensible to criticise all governments rather than the one that's responsible for bringing in the drink-boating regulations and been in office for the last 10 years.
